Bayer was complicit in the chemical experimentation on Jews and the carrying out of the Holocaust, it turns out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In the decades that followed, Bayer (formerly IG Farben) found a way to turn its deadly chemical weapons into pesticides, herbicides, chemotherapy drugs and pharmaceuticals. Instead of murdering people for the Third Reich, the corporation found a way to murder people for profit. Its acquisition of Monsanto cemented Bayer\u2019s dominance in the agriculture sector, allowing the company to earn tens of billions of dollars a year by poisoning the global food supply with a deadly, cancer-causing chemical known as<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong> <a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/glyphosate.news\">glyphosate<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \u2014 sold as \u201cRoundup\u201d under the Monsanto brand name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Now, a third court case has ruled that Monsanto\u2019s toxic weed killer caused cancer among those who used it. In this case, a California jury has returned an astonishing $2 billion award for the plaintiffs who say Roundup caused their cancers. \u201cBayer AG was ordered to pay more than $2 billion in damages to a California couple that claimed they got cancer as a result of using its Roundup weedkiller for about three decades,\u201d <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-05-13\/bayer-loses-its-third-trial-over-claims-roundup-causes-cancer\">reports Bloomberg.com<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It\u2019s one of the largest jury awards ever recorded in the history of humanity, and it shows that Bayer is now facing \u201cfinancial annihilation\u201d because there are over 13,000 additional lawsuits pending.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">If 10,000 lawsuits each result in a jury award of just $100 million \u2014 the low side of awards so far \u2014 this would cost Bayer $1 trillion, plunging the evil corporation into financial ruin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Just as Roundup is toxic to humanity, Monsanto has been toxic for Bayer<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Since acquiring Monsanto, Bayer\u2019s share price has plunged more than 40 percent, meaning the chemical giant has already lost tens of billions of dollars in market capitalization. Since Bayer inherited all of Monsanto\u2019s liabilities when it acquired the company \u2014 and because Roundup has been in use by the public for over three decades \u2014 Bayer could face at least another decade of lawsuits that add up to multiple trillions of dollars in damages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Via Bloomberg.com:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/images\/Bayers-Remorse-600.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-pin-no-hover=\"true\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cThe company has got to come to the table with a viable plan to resolve these cases, or the losses are going to mount,\u201d attorney Micah Dortch <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-05-13\/bayer-loses-its-third-trial-over-claims-roundup-causes-cancer\">told Bloomberg.com<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. Dortch is part of a law firm that has filed many cases against Monsanto \/ Bayer, claiming damage from glyphosate exposure. \u201cThis outcome should make Monsanto realize the seriousness of these claims and how a jury perceives the evidence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Ironically, Monsanto isn\u2019t just toxic to the human food supply and the environment at large; it\u2019s also toxic to Bayer\u2019s shareholders. Then again, if they\u2019re invested in evil corporations, they probably deserve to lose their investments anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">French authorities catch Monsanto running \u201cblack ops\u201d unit that targeted journalists, regulators and lawmakers across Europe with bribery and intimidation campaigns<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">On top of the stunning court decision mentioned above, French authorities look likely to file criminal charges against Monsanto for running a \u201cblack ops\u201d campaign across Europe, which targeted regulators, lawmakers and journalists with either bribes or intimidation \/ character assassination campaigns, depending on whether they supported or opposed Roundup and GMOs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cFrench prosecutors said on Friday they had opened an inquiry after newspaper Le Monde filed a complaint alleging that Monsanto \u2026 had kept a file of 200 names, including journalists and lawmakers in hopes of influencing positions on pesticides,\u201d <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-bayer-france-monsanto-europe-idUSKCN1SJ1OY\">reports Reuters<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. (Yes, Reuters.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Bayer officials are now admitting that Monsanto used black ops-like units to discredit, smear and destroy individuals who stood in the way of Monsanto\u2019s market dominance across Europe. \u201cThere have been a number of cases where \u2013 as they would say in football \u2013 not the ball was played but the man, or woman, was tackled,\u201d admitted Matthias Berninger, the head of public affairs and sustainability for Bayer, as reported by Reuters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">This is an open admission about Monsanto\u2019s character assassination and online defamation operations that have been running for at least a decade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Natural News has long reported that Monsanto spends millions of dollars a year running \u201cblack ops\u201d units to carry out online character assassination targeting clean food advocates in the United States and around the world. This author has been the target of numerous black ops campaigns that I believe were funded and organized by Monsanto, including stalking, death threat campaigns, character assassination and the coordinated bribery of left-learning journalists to publish fabricated lies in media outlets which are picked up by paid-off Wikipedia editors to smear Natural News in Wikipedia.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How Monsanto defames clean food advocates: The \u201cWikipedia shuffle\u201d<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Monsanto is an expert in the so-called \u201cWikipedia shuffle\u201d scheme, which plants character assassination lies in your Wikipedia page that are then picked up by paid-off journalists in a fake news rag like Buzzfeed. Citing the fake Wikipedia entry, Buzzfeed publishes a story that repeats the defamation lie. From there, the original Wikipedia smear is deleted and replaced with a new entry that cites the Buzzfeed story, which is of course accepted as an \u201cauthoritative source\u201d by Wikipedia. Now the lie is <em>sourced<\/em> and thus considered a \u201cfact.\u201d This is how the Wikipedia shuffle works, and it\u2019s a technique that has been used thousands of times by Monsanto to smear clean food advocates and anti-Monsanto critics all across the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Years ago, Natural News<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong> <a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/047668_jon_entine_biotech_front_man_corporate_propaganda.html\">exposed Jon Entine<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, one of the many character assassination operatives with ties to the American Enterprise Institute. <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.truthwiki.org\/jon_entine\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Jon Entine<\/strong><\/span><\/a> ran defamation and smear campaigns targeting critics of Monsanto, and he helped organize attacks on scientific journals that published research showing the toxicity of glyphosate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Reuters now reports:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><em>French public-sector research institutes Inra and CNRS on Monday said they would file criminal complaints over mishandling of personal data, after finding that some of their researchers and executives featured on the Monsanto stakeholder lists.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">This means the jig is just about up for Monsanto and Bayer. With Monsanto\u2019s \u201cblack ops\u201d crimes being exposed, and with Bayer now facing literally trillions of dollars in potential liability while suffering a catastrophic stock market loss, this deadly corporation whose products have murdered millions of people across our globe may finally be facing the karma it has long deserved.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Humanity must tear down Bayer and Monsanto in self-defense, halting the \u201cpoison-for-profit\u201d scheme that has killed tens of millions<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Humanity must continue to work to utterly dismantle Monsanto and Bayer, putting them out of business for good. Until that day comes, this evil cabal of insidious poisoners will continue to saturate the human food supply with cancer-causing chemicals while polluting the world\u2019s croplands and waterways with deadly chemicals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Bayer has been at war with humanity for over half a century, and Monsanto developed the chemical weapons that have killed millions (including Agent Orange, used in Vietnam). It\u2019s time for humanity to commence a new round of arrests and trials that hold these corporations responsible for their crimes against humanity and nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Keep filing the lawsuits against Monsanto, and keep exposing the truth about Bayer\u2019s history with the Nazis and the Holocaust.
